Summary
There are, arguably, two iconic scenes in Stanley Kramer's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. In the first, you see the power, intensity, and genius of, arguably the greatest movie star of the 1960's, Sidney Poitier. In the second, and final scene of the movie, you watch one of the great actors of the golden age of Hollywood, Spencer Tracy, demonstrate the simple honesty, and down to earth genius that made him a star. This along with incredible performances from Roy E. Glen Sr. Beah Richards and of course, Katherine Hepburn make Guess Who's Coming to Dinner an enduring classic.

| 0:43.0 | And excited to be walking back into this world, Steve. I think we had a fantastic discussion in part one, if I do say so myself. |
| 0:50.0 | And so I'm looking forward to seeing where we end up at the end of this movie. |
| 0:55.0 | And do we settle the debate whether this is a Sidney Baudier movie or a Spencer Tracy movie we shall see. |

| 1:27.0 | Guess who's coming to dinner now? |
| 1:29.0 | The Reverend Martin Luther King. |
| 1:33.0 | More stakes, which is funny because we're actually recording this on Martin Luther King day. |
| 1:39.0 | Oh, how funny. Yeah. |
| 1:40.0 | And isn't this one year before, sadly, he's assassinated, right? Because it's about 67. |
